My daughter and I really enjoy being outdoors hiking and camping when the weather is nice. But one thing I struggle with is keeping my hands free, especially if it's dark out. Have you ever tried to take a youngster to the restroom while camping in the dark at 2 am in the morning while holding a flashlight, their hand so they are not scared of the dark and navigating a trail? Well I have and it's not fun! When I came across an offer to try out the hands free head lamp in exchange for an honest ...

Oh My Goodness!! We were chosen to be part of the Show Your Disney Side Celebration!!! I received free products in order to host a Disney Side @Home Celebration.

DreamWorks Home Movie Review

This morning Peyton decided she wanted to be the mom and pretend she was driving me to school. If you know me, you know I can be ...

Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with Kids
I love the holidays. I love dressing up, decorating the house, baking, basically anything fun to make the holiday more festive. But when I had my daughter I often found myself short on time, energy or both. I still want to celebrate. I still want to do fun things she will remember when she is older. But being a single mom and working full time sometimes really suck all the energy right out of me. And now St Patricks day falls during the week. I am most rushed during the week. So how are we going ...
